Hello folks! First, I must apologize for not posting much recently. I've been extremely busy with the holidays and when not busy, I have been completely exhausted. I am sure a lot of you have been feeling the same way.

Second, I would like to share some of my favorite songs from some of my favorite albums of 2014. This next week or so I plan on sharing my favorite things of the past year (and I'd love to hear your's as well.)

Good afternoon! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Today my friend Kylie is kind enough to share her holiday wish list, which makes a fabulous gift guide. Kylie lives up in Portland and runs The Baking Bird, where she shares her adventures in baking (she has such great recipes), as well as little bits of her life up in the northwest.

Since I'm sure the majority of my readers don't live in climates quite like Los Angeles (I'm still mostly wearing shorts and t-shirts down here), I thought I'd share some of my favorite cold-weather styles. I admit, I almost wish I could join in with the long coats, thick scarves, and cute knit sweaters.

Ashley Ording was one of my first close Internet friends (and one of the first I met in "real-life"), from back when I was 18-years-old. She works behind-the-scenes for Anthropologie, collects incredible vintage goods, and is one of the most stylish ladies I know. She put together this holiday wish list for my readers and I have to say, I'd love every single one of these things.

Vintage 'A' Brooch: I have a small collection of 'A' brooches and this one would make a perfect addition. Plus it will help me in my futile quest to be as cool as Laverne from Laverne & Shirley. Mint Metal Wire PLant Stand: Now that I have more space for decorating I've been going hog wild with plant collecting, and to keep my cat from eating all of them I need a few cool plant stands like this mid-century inspired one in my favorite color.

A gift guide after my own heart. I keep finding myself drawn more and more to bohemian clothing pieces and household objects. I would happily take any of the above for myself. (P.S.: Stay tuned: next week we have a bunch of guest gift guides from some of my favorite bloggers and friends!)
